Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Nevertheless, Pierre clearly realized that there was no way he could compete with Abel.

At least not now. He could not even stand up.

If he really got into a fight, he would be the one at a disadvantage, and his leg might end up even worse.

"Listen to me. As long as you're willing to provide me with this money, I'll fulfill one of your wishes," added Abel. He tasked Hera with investigating some things about Pierre today and unexpectedly found some information.

These things were his capital for negotiating cooperation with Pierre.

"Any wish?" asked Pierre.

"Not exactly. It depends on what you want to do.” Abel was not so naive as to promise any wish. Even though he could back out of the agreement, he had already tricked Pierre once. Seeing Pierre as a cripple made him suddenly feel reluctant to trick him again.

However, it was not out of pity for Pierre. Abel just felt that this person, though foolishly rich, would not fall for more tricks again.

"That won't do," replied Pierre. If Abel could not help Pierre achieve any wish, then there was no need to discuss money.

"Tell me your wish," said Abel with a smirk on his face as he slightly leaned forward. Even in the darkness, he could clearly see Pierre's fear.

Perhaps Pierre did not even realize that his eyes were filled with fear when he was facing Abel at this moment.

"Tell me how much money you want first.” Pierre looked at him cautiously.

"Well, not much. It’s not much for you, at least. Two million dollars," answered Abel. Even though two million dollars could not make up for the losses he suffered last time, they could allow him to invest in something else.

Two million dollars was not much for Pierre.

Even if it was 20 million dollars, it would still be easy for the Mallory family.

"Fine. As long as you fulfill my wish, I'll give you two million dollars.” There was excitement gleaming in Pierre’s eyes.

Abel noticed it. He suddenly wanted to know what Pierre wanted at this moment.

"You haven't told me your wish yet. Only when your wish is spoken can we decide whether to cooperate or not. Also, I'll raise the price if it’s too difficult to fulfill."

Pierre immediately felt dissatisfied. There would be a price hike?

Pierre replied, "I need Luca to perform dry needling treatment on my legs. You should know Luca, the woman around Luke Crawford. I want her."

Abel was surprised. Pierre actually wanted Luca? For dry needling treatment?

However, he instantly remembered that Luca learned dry needling techniques from Shanks, who indeed had skills.

If Shanks performed dry needling for Pierre, he could not guarantee a 100% recovery of Pierre's leg, but he could definitely stand up and walk like a normal person.

If Shanks could do it, then Luca could probably manage it too.

Still, how did Pierre know that Luca had such skills?

"It's easy for your team to kidnap a woman, and it won't cost much effort. This transaction is quite advantageous for you," analyzed Pierre. He was afraid that Abel would decline.

Abel rolled his eyes. Getting Luca was just a matter of a word. There was no need to kidnap her. Doing this was indeed very easy.

However, Abel did not intend to agree.

He knew that even if he refused, Pierre would find other ways to bring Luca over for dry needling treatment.

As he thought about this, he knew that Luca and Luke would be in trouble in the future. Since there would be a good show to watch, why should he agree?

"You're painting a simple picture, but this is a tangled mess. Luca is in Luke’s pocket. You're suggesting I take him on? Am I crazy?" Abel thrust Luke into the conversation.

Pierre did not expect Abel to be so intimidated. Was he really cowering in the face of Luke Crawford?

"Are you afraid of Luke? You didn't hesitate to steal his bidding document back then. Were you afraid then?" Pierre could not believe it.

"I was afraid. Of course, I was. Stealing bidding documents and kidnapping Luca are two different things. Don't you know how much Luke treasures that woman now?

"Feel free to go ahead with your kidnapping plans. Even if you were to offer me five million dollars, I wouldn't even bat an eye," replied Abel.

Pierre was disappointed. He originally thought Abel would agree to this deal.

He did not expect Abel to be afraid of Luke.

"In that case, there's no need to continue discussing," said Pierre. He was about to maneuver his wheelchair to go back. During this conversation, mosquitoes had already left a few bites on him.

He had refrained himself from scratching due to his own dignity. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Wait a minute. I can't fulfill this wish, but you can do it yourself, right?" Abel blocked his path.

Pierre fixed him with a malevolent glare. "I can do it myself, but I also thought of giving you a chance to cooperate. But you're too afraid."

Abel let out a cold sneer. "Whether I dare to do it or not isn't your concern. But if you're willing to cough up two million dollars, I can help you with something."

"What?" Pierre did not want to pay attention at first, but he could not help but ask.

"Your mother is currently facing difficulties. I can help her," suggested Abel. This was what he learned today.

The moment Hera told him about it, he knew he had a way to solve the problem at hand.

"You? What can you do? Let me be clear with you too. Right now, her only chance at safety is to expose someone to the public eye. But she's already left someone crippled. He’s barely clinging to life." Pierre thought to himself that no one could solve this problem for Karen.

Even if Abel could, Pierre would not spend two million dollars to smooth things over for Karen.

Karen caused this trouble herself. Why should he clean up this mess for her?

"I can arrange for someone to disguise himself as that man, not only in appearance but also in voice. Tell me, is it worth two million dollars for someone skilled in disguise and voice imitation?"

Abel presented his solution and added, "I know you look down on your mother now, but no matter what, she's still your mother whether you admit it or not.

“And because of this, she has lost Old Master Mallory's trust. If this matter isn't resolved, the day she returns to Mallory Manor will be indefinitely postponed. With your mother unable to support you, even if your leg recovers, you'll still be fighting alone.

"Do you think Old Master Mallory will stand on your side without your mother's help?"

Pierre pursed his lips. The answer was obvious—he would not.

If Karen was not there to speak for him in front of Old Master Mallory, he might never be forgiven.

Therefore, Karen returning to Mallory Manor would be beneficial for him.

Abel noticed Pierre’s silence and continued, "At this moment, what matters most for you isn't the recovery of your leg but ensuring your mother successfully resolves this issue.

"Once the old master believes she's back on track, only then can you have smoother days ahead and compete on equal footing with your brother.

"Dropping two million dollars might not even be enough to secure you the right talent. If you don't bring out someone who looks like Silas Gray as soon as possible, by the time he recovers and steps forward, no one will believe it," added Abel.
